I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "There will appear some people among you whose prayer will make
you look down upon yours, and whose fasting will make you look down upon yours, but they will
recite the Qur'an which will not exceed their throats (they will not act on it) and they will go out of
Islam as an arrow goes out through the game whereupon the archer would examine the arrowhead but
see nothing, and look at the unfeathered arrow but see nothing, and look at the arrow feathers but see
nothing, and finally he suspects to find something in the lower part of the arrow."
“There
will be leaders who will be distracted by matters and they will
delay
the prayer until after its proper time. So make your prayer with
them
voluntary.”
Verily there would arise from my Ummah after me or soon after me a group (of people) who would recite the Qur'an, but it would not go beyond their throats, and they would pass clean through their religion just as the arrow passes through the prey, and they would never come back to it. They would be the worst among the creation and the creatures. Ibn Samit (one of the narrators) said: I met Rafi' b. 'Amr Ghifari, the brother of Al-Hakam Ghifari and I said: What is this hadith that I heard from Abu Dharr, i. e. so and so? and then I narrated that hadith to him and said: I heard it from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The righteous (pious people will depart (die) in succession one after the other, and
there will remain (on the earth) useless people like the useless husk of barley seeds or bad dates.
I heard `Imran bin Husain saying, "The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'The best people are those living in my
generation, then those coming after them, and then those coming after (the second generation)."
`Imran said "I do not know whether the Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned two or three generations after your present
generation. The Prophet (ﷺ) added, 'There will be some people after you, who will be dishonest and will
not be trustworthy and will give witness (evidences) without being asked to give witness, and will
vow but will not fulfill their vows, and obesity will appear among them."
